Cubs News
In a season marked by ups and downs, the Cubs still have some shining stars to celebrate amidst their recent struggles, including a disheartening 3-4 loss to the Pirates. Pete Crow-Armstrong made headlines with a spectacular 4-hit, 4-RBI night, launching his 42nd homer, joining the ranks of Cubs legends. Meanwhile, Alex Bregman's defense is earning Gold Glove whispers, adding a crucial layer of stability to the roster as they gear up to face the formidable Braves. With the wild card race heating up and Justin Steele's potential return becoming a race against time, fans are left hoping that the team's depth can overcome the burden of 12 players on the injured list. The Cubs need to rally and regain momentum as they chase postseason dreams amidst a lukewarm 2-5 stretch.
